The most dangerous phrase in business is “we’ve always done it that way.” This phrase can be a killer of innovation, creativity, and growth. It can also lead to stagnation and decline. Continue reading The Six Most Dangerous Words

Teams form in all aspects of life. We typically associate a team with sports, and in Philadelphia, we’ve had a pretty good run of success recently even though we haven’t gotten over that final hurdle just yet. Our Phillies competed in the World Series, and of course, the Eagles had a great run this season that ended with a very entertaining and tightly-contested Super Bowl. Continue reading Building a Great Team Starts with Connection

For the first time in a while, I’m optimistic! I look at the beginning of 2023 very much like a student finishing college and beginning a new career: We spent the past few years working our butts off! The results were good most of the time, but we also had to work through some failure. We had to get serious about our priorities and decide to push through the tough stuff. To paraphrase one of my favorite contemporary business gurus, Simon Sinek: we knew who could hoist a sail. Now we know who is able, and more importantly willing, to hoist a sail in a storm. Continue reading What Didn’t Kill Us, Really Did Make Us Stronger

As we flip the calendar from 2022 to 2023, I must say that I am optimistic about Induron’s position in our target markets. 2022 was another stressful year in the coatings industry–much like the two preceding years–because of a myriad of supply chain issues ranging from consistently high inflation to shipping delays, and in some extreme cases, ABSOLUTELY NO RAW MATERIAL available. Continue reading 2023, Induron is Ready
December is here, and we’re getting excited for the upcoming holidays! As you know, family is important to us at Induron.

Continue reading Induron Holiday Traditions 2022
We are thrilled to welcome Steve Freed to the Induron team as our Northeast Regional Sales Manager. While we are sad to see our longstanding Water Tank Manager and industry veteran, Tex Enoch, move toward retirement, we could not be more fortunate to have Steve Freed stepping into his role and territory. For the last few months, Steve has worked alongside Tex to establish a seamless transition.
“Steve was already well-known within the ductile iron portion of Induron’s business,” Tex said. “Before he was hired, he went with me to visit some contractors in the Lancaster, PA area as well as a job site where a 3-million gallon composite tank was being built and painted by Chicago Bridge and Iron Company–two perfect examples of what I have been doing for Induron for the last 13 years. Steve easily translated his knowledge of below-ground coatings to above-ground work in which I specialized. His technical expertise is outstanding, and his basic coating knowledge has only to be refined. I can’t imagine Induron finding a more qualified and capable replacement for me as I walk off into the sunset.”
